What can I solve for you?

Drawing upon a passion for education as well as prior experience as an educator, I am deeply committed to supporting local educational agencies in their mission to prepare students for “college and career readiness” while also creating environments where students are happy, safe, and supported.

What's it like to work with me?

My approach is collaborative and solutions-oriented, and I incorporate creative, “outside-of-the-box” thinking into my legal research and analysis. I intentionally seek to build strong relationships with clients and their communities so I can better understand their needs and perspectives.

“The end of all education should surely be service to others.”

Overview

Olivia Pacheco Brown focuses on special education law, with an interest in charter schools and rural communities. She supports clients with issues requiring legal research in employment and special education law, special education due process hearings, and professional development for educators in special education law.

During law school, Olivia’s pro bono and clinical work primarily concerned the advocacy of children’s issues. Olivia represented minors in the child welfare system, using her experience as an educator to develop strong relationships with her clients. In her special education advocacy work, Olivia represented students and supported parents in mediations, Admission, Review, and Dismissal Committee meetings, Manifestation Determination Reviews, and disciplinary reviews. Olivia also trained and supported student and attorney volunteers and fostered relationships with community members to support the special education pro bono project.

Prior to law school, Olivia was a public school teacher for several years. This experience gives her unique insights into the challenges faced by students and educators, making her a valuable asset to her clients.

After School

In addition to relaxing at home with our three dogs, my husband and I enjoy spending time with loved ones and exploring this beautiful state in which we live. My favorite pastime is reading, and I can often be found in my local library or on my Kindle looking to add to my “Want to Read” list.
